PUPP (Belly Rash)?

Question

Has anyone suddenly experienced an onset of belly rash ? Yesterday I felt very itchy and saw some itchy red bumps on my belly. Woke up this morning still having the belly itch and now I have a slight itchy rash on my chest.  Thought maybe it was heat rash but am not sure. Wondering if other women are experiencing this.

38 weeks today. Please ignore my poked out belly button😜

Answer

It looks like PUPPS. I’m sorry I know they’re super uncomfortable! I had them with my first and they were unbearable. I would wake up at night because of the itch and it spread all over my body. I tried everything and the only thing that worked is this pine tar soap. It worked miracles for me!!! It gets rid of the itchiness and the bumps. You can get it off of amazon. Hope it helps you too!

Answer

I had/have it (for the last 3 pregnancies) and current one. My back is severely scarred my arms and chest. Now I have to consider scars creams so I don't look like a zombie apocalypse victim.

Answer

I had puppps with my first. A boy. It was just on my belly at first. After he was born it spread all over my breasts, thighs, and feet. It blistered and oozed and left scars on my body. Luckily I haven’t developed it with this pregnancy. Also a boy. There is nothing I found that worked at all except keeping it moist.

Answer

Been there! Mine actually started on my arms.  Took dandelion root capsules and it was all gone within 2 weeks. Life saver let me tell u. I had it from  22-26 weeks before I tried the dandelion

Answer

Do you have it on your hands or feet?

Answer

Started on my belly and then spread like crazy. Tried everything from Benadryl (my doc says mainly used for sleeping through the night, but I was up regardless). Grandpa pine tar soap, even bought dandelion root capsules but I hadn't gotten responses on that being effective. Hadn't tried dandelion root tea yet but I have a schedule c section Wednesday so not too phased by now. Good luck!!

Answer

I have PUPPPS. It started around 30-32 weeks (I don't remember anymore lol) and I'm almost 36 weeks now. I wasn't diagnosed right away because it was only on my stomach and manageable. Then it started spreading to my arms, thighs, calves, and butt. I was waking myself up with scratching myself to the point of blood. I was on the verge of tears from the pain of it. And even though I knew what it was I showed my doctor just this past Wednesday and he diagnosed me and told me to take benadryl and to use hydrocortisone cream and wrote me a prescription for triamcinolone acetonide cream (prescription hydrocortisone) which I had already been using because my husband has that for his nickel allergy. So I knew the cream wouldn't help at all. But I had just taken benadryl the night before my appointment after researching online and it has helped my rash SO much. I can still feel the bumps on my arms, and my legs are still red and itchy at times. But it's not even close to what it used to be. (These pictures are from before benadryl) 
I'm sorry you're going through this too! But I definitely recommend benadryl. It's worth a shot and doesn't have a negative affect on baby at all.
